📈 U.S. Q3 2025 Earnings Jump: Market Signals Ahead
Full-time workers’ median weekly earnings hit $1,214 in Q3 2025 — up 4.2% YoY, outpacing inflation (CPI-U at 2.9%).
🔥 What it means for markets:
Stronger consumer spending: More real income → potential boost for retail, services & cyclical sectors.
Pressure on the Fed: Wage growth above inflation raises the question of whether rate cuts can come soon.
Corporate margins: Higher labor costs may squeeze companies with thin margins, especially in labor-heavy industries.
Risk assets: If consumer strength holds, equities and crypto could see continued inflows.
Overall: Real wage growth = stronger demand, but investors will watch how the Fed responds.
